February Recap

I’m still here! I haven’t fallen off the surface of earth just yet! Seeing that it’s almost March already, I haven’t been sticking to this blogging loop just yet. Blogging is just another routine that I have to slowly into my weekly schedule. Even though its been a while, I’ve actually been updating this once a week!

February, the early part of the new year that doesn’t feel brand new nor dreading for time to pass. All I want is more hours in the day! February was both eventful and exhausting, and it isn’t even over! This coming Thursday and Friday, I’m going to be helping backstage at one of San Francisco’s biggest fashion show. The Junior League of San Francisco will be hosting a weekend full of shopping, fashion and food. What I love the most about being backstage during fashion shows is being surrounded in the industry and the adrenaline of needing to finish a look with a matter of minutes or even seconds. (But sitting in the audience watching the show is just as exciting!) For more info about the JLSF fashion show, click here. (Although the tickets are kind of on the steep side.)

February in a nutshell: 

Two Gallants playing at The Fillmore / Wearing all red for the Superbowl

Wedding mid month, which means getting my hair did and nails did / Chinese New Years

Celebrating Valentines Day with  BB Noah <3 / Food Trip to SoCal, ALL THE GOOD FOODS

Phone Post: Food Trip 2013

Currently in Southern California for a food trip with my cousins and sister. We're all big foodies and decided to take this long weekend off to relax, eat and enjoy each other's company.

After being a 'SoCal' resident for quite some time, the thing I miss most is the weather! It's quite a change from the San Francisco 50's to the Los Angeles 80's, but I loved it. Also along with the amazing view of arts and people to look at. Speaking of people watching, I bumped into Tyler the Creator from OFWGKTA at Fairfax.

Back to enjoying my mini vacation now, hope everyone has a fun and safe long weekend!

Year of the Snake

My sister and I at last night's festivities!

Happy Lunar New Years! Its kind of exciting because I get to celebrate two New Years each year. The first is with a lot of friends and booze, while the second (lunar) New Years with family and food. Superstition also has a play in Lunar New Years, and its fun trying to follow along. Some of the ones I do follow are, not washing my hair or taking the trash out today. It’s supposed to mean that we're not washing or throwing away good luck for the year. I’m ready for all the good luck to come my way! And happy snake year to all!

I’m finally coming clean and admitting that I’m currently being kicked in the butt by school. I can’t tell if its senioritis hitting me again for the third time, know that summer is coming and I’m excited for many exciting adventures, or the ease of the classes I’m currently taking. I’ve never been this behind, rushing assignments day of the due date, nor is the information hard and complicated (although I’ve been good working under pressure before). Come to think of it, it might even be the ‘free time’ that I think I have but I end up investing it all on watching Netflix. (P.S. Grey’s Anatomy is emotionally draining, and I can’t get myself to do anything else.)

I'm coming to a conclusion that I need to reorganize my life, get things done, and get a job! (Update on that: My employment has been terminated as of Jan 30 due to the closure of the store. Good-bye sweet sweet discount.)

Things to start focusing on; 1) School 2) Career 3) Saving monies for summer 4) Life in general

hello february!

I woke up this morning realizing that it was already February. Where did my month go? As a look back on my month, so much has happened.

• 2013 happened! Brand new year, for brand new things and opportunities.
• Spring semester started, and I love every class I’m taking.
• I’ve laid low for a good week and a half; due to some type of sickness I’ve caught. That and I’ve had the dry cough for the first time ever, worst thing ever!
• Attended my first big girl conference with Association of Image Consultant International (AICI), which I have yet to make a post about.
•  The Gap store I’ve been working at for the past 9 months has finally closed down, but hopefully I get to transfer to another location.

I've decided to post the window display photo for LV because I've taken interest in all shopping retail windows, partly due to my past Visual Merchandising class. Its given me a different look on how stores display their windows as a sales tactic, and if I love them enough I snap a photo.

Also, my visual merchandising/styling lecturer Arcadia Maximo recently featured a classmate and myself on her blog post! I was delighted to see my face as I browsed the blogs I read daily, so that was exciting. 

 Lets hope for more exciting things to happen this month.
